Amino Acids

Acetyl forms of amino acids are directly taken into the brain, and Carnitine is no exception, making Acetyl L-Carnitine the preferred form of Carnitine for brain and nervous system support as it can cross the blood brain barrier, strengthening the receptors and neurons.  The body can convert Acetyl L Carnitine into L Carnitine and visa versa.  SERVING SUGGESTION: 1-3gm, preferably in...

L-Arginine has numerous functions in the body and is considered a semi-essential amino acid as the body cannot always manufacture enough for daily requirements. HealthWise  L-Arginine uses pure arginine hydrochloride as it is freely soluble in water and well absorbed.  SERVING SUGGESTION: L-Arginine is generally well absorbed orally and can be added to foods or liquids. ...

 Glucosamine hydrochloride offers the promise of the same efficacy as glucosamine sulfate, since glucosamine is not absorbed intact with its carrier. The body doesn’t care how it gets glucosamine as long as it is bioavailable.  Glucosamine hydrochloride vs. Glucosamine sulfate: Glucosamine hydrochloride is often preferred to glucosamine sulfate for a number of reasons. The...

Glucosamine hydrochloride is often preferred to glucosamine sulphate as the hydrochloride form is more concentrated than the sulphate form. Also the hydrochloride form contains substantially less sodium. Glucosamine hydrochloride vs. Glucosamine sulphate: Glucosamine hydrochloride is often preferred to glucosamine sulphate for a number of reasons. The hydrochloride form is more concentrated than...

Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the bloodstream. It is considered a "conditionally essential amino acid" because it can be manufactured in the body. However under extreme physical stress such as injuries, infections, burns, trauma, or surgical procedures, the demand for glutamine exceeds the body's ability to synthesize it.  SERVING SUGGESTION Glutamine should be taken with...
